KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 (Bernama) -- Former Liverpool striker, Robbie Fowler is the latest big name to confirm participation in the forthcoming English Premier League (EPL) Masters Football Malaysia Cup 2011 presented by Standard Chartered on March 13, at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil here.

In a statement Chief Marketing Officer of Football Focus Asia, Gavin O'Luanaigh said the four teams competing will be Liverpool Masters, Manchester United Masters, EPL All Stars Masters and the Malaysian Masters.

"These great teams will be participating in this established indoor six-a-side football tournament that has been running in the UK to packed crowds for over 10 years.

"As well as stars from Liverpool FC, football fans can also expect big names such as Andrew Cole, Gaizka Mendieta, Jesper Blomqvist, Patrik Berger and Faustino Asprilla who will mesmerize fans with epic football skills," he said.

Fowler, 36, made his debut for Liverpool FC on Jan 13, 1993 and scored a massive 183 goals, making him one of the clubs top scorers and fourth-highest goalscorer in the history of EPL.
